Veronica Onsurez-Pannell

Veronica Onsurez-Pannell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years working in behavioral health in Texas. She helps people who are coping with addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, and related mood or stress concerns. Veronica works with people who feel stuck after big life changes or who are questioning their path and purpose.

Across her career Veronica has supported individuals facing substance-use and process addictions such as gambling or problematic sexual behaviors. She also works with trauma and post-traumatic stress, workplace stress, and the fallout from divorce and separation. Her background includes long-term work with veterans and multicultural populations, and she brings that experience into practical sessions.

Veronica’s sessions focus on identifying what feels unmanageable and breaking that down into concrete steps. She listens, asks direct questions, and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. From there she and the client develop strategies to address impulsivity, self-harm urges, mood shifts, or relationship patterns.

Her approach is collaborative and respectful. She supports people in recognizing strengths and trying new ways of handling problems. Meetings tend to be straightforward and task-focused when that fits the concern.

Veronica speaks English and Spanish and works with people across cultural backgrounds. International clients are accepted. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How evidence-based approaches work in remote sessions

Veronica draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address addiction, trauma, and mood problems. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with practical coping skills; this can help with depressive moods, impulsivity, and some process addictions. Another common method concentrates on processing traumatic memories and reducing their day-to-day impact by teaching grounding and regulation strategies; this is often used for PTSD and trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Veronica collaborates with each person to test what fits their needs and goals. Together they track what helps, adjust tactics, and choose different techniques when necessary.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions let them fit meetings into work breaks, reduce travel time, and keep continuity through relocations or life changes. Remote meetings can also make short check-ins easier when a quick strategy or adjustment is needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skill-building activities to work in remote appointments, and Veronica will help plan how to use sessions most effectively for day-to-day life.
